Nonclassicality in Two-Mode Stabilized Squeezed Coherent State: Quantum-to-Classical transition
Abstract: We consider a two-mode stabilized squeezed coherent state (SSCS) of light and introduce the $\Pi_{\rm N}$ indicator, a novel measure for characterizing nonclassicality in the resulting EPR-entangled state. Unlike existing methods based on Cauchy-Schwarz or Murihead inequalities, $\Pi_{\rm N}$ leverages analytical solutions to the quantum Langevin equations to directly analyze nonclassicality arising from key processes like bichromatic injection, frequency conversion, and parametric down-conversion (both spontaneous and stimulated). This approach not only identifies the optimal phase for maximum nonclassicality but also reveals two new phenomena: first, both intra-cavity and extra-cavity fields exhibit the same degree of nonclassicality, and second, balanced seeding in phase-mismatched configurations induces nonclassicality across a broad range of squeezing and seeding parameters. Our work deepens the understanding of the intricate dependence of nonclassicality on system parameters in the context of SSCS, paving the way for investigations into the quantum-to-classical transition in entangled systems. The potential of $\Pi_{\rm N}$ holds significant promise for advancements in quantum optics and information science.
